When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Tian Guang, whose scapula was pierced, huddled in a pile of weeds. The once high-spirited hero of the farm family was now no different from a disabled person. In his current condition, even if he was rescued and treated, most of his martial arts skills would be wasted. For a man like him, the destruction of his martial arts was no different from taking his life.

But Tian Guang could not die, as he still had things that worried him. The farmers still needed him, and in his heart, there was still a glimmer of hope. The action of the Six Xians might have failed, but he did not believe that Yang Chong could really defeat the Six Xians. After all, if the Six Xians worked together, even a master could defeat them. Although Yang Chong was strong, he could not be a master. Even if Yang Chong had ambushed his troops, they had chosen the battlefield themselves, and they had already considered the possibility that Tian Mi might betray them.

The battlefield was close to a lake, so even if Yang Chong had ambushed a large army, the Six Sages could use the lake to escape.

It is with this hope that Tian Guang has been living tenaciously in this dark prison. However, it is hard to say whether he is living for the so-called hope or just because he is afraid of death.

But none of this is important, because the person who truly decides his fate is Yang Chong, and today Yang Chong appears in front of him.

"Tian Guang." After the jailer opened the cell door, Yang Chong walked into the cell in front of him.

"Yang Chong?!" Tian Guang raised his head and looked at Yang Chong.

Although this was the first time the two met, both he and Yang Chong had been eyeing each other for a long time, so it can be said that they were no strangers to each other.

"It seems that I came to the right place this time." Yang Chong looked at Tian Guang. He had never thought of subduing Tian Guang, and he did not come here to subdue Tian Guang.

"You've come to the wrong place. No matter what your purpose is, you can't achieve it on me." Tian Guang said coldly. He also has his own pride and will never allow himself to bow down in front of Yang Chong just to survive.

"You don't think I'm here to recruit you, do you?" Yang Chong looked surprised, but this identity was too fake and not sincere at all.

Tian Guang wanted to say something, but Yang Chong simply moved aside, and Tian Mi appeared behind him, coming into Tian Guang's sight.

"You really betrayed us." Tian Guang looked at the woman in front of him. Until now, he had completely confirmed the fact that Tian Mi had betrayed him.

"Betrayal? When did I have the obligation to be loyal to you?" Tian Mi looked at Tian Guang. This chivalrous leader who was once like a monarch in the farmers' family was now reduced to a prisoner. His condition was extremely miserable, but Tian Mi did not feel any sympathy. Instead, she felt an indescribable pleasure.

These high-ranking people who used to be so high and mighty and who ignored the tragedy of their family have ended up like this? They can't be the only ones experiencing pain in the world. People like Tian Guang should also experience it. She wants to use this pain to crush the pride of people like Tian Guang.

"You are a disciple of the Nong family, a member of my Tian family." Tian Guang looked at Tian Mi, a disciple whom he had never taken seriously before. Now he felt an inexplicable chill in his eyes.

"You also know that I am a disciple of the Farmer's family and a member of the Tian family, but when our family is bullied, do you people think that we are also disciples of the Farmer's family and members of the Tian family?" Tian Mi asked.

"What are you talking about?" Tian Guang was a little confused. He didn't know much about what Tian Mi had experienced. After all, he was the leader of the farming family, and he had too many things to do in the past. Tian Mi's family couldn't really devote much energy to him.

"Look, I know you don't know that your eyes are only on the people in the world. But that's why people like you are more disgusting. In your eyes, you are the only human being, and others are just tools for you to achieve your goals. You only think that it is our honor if tools like us can be used by you. How could you care about what a tool has experienced or what it is thinking." Tian Mi said angrily, her pretty little face a little distorted.

Although part of her questioning was due to her past experiences, it was also to find sufficient reasons for her subsequent actions. These reasons did not need to be very convincing, as long as they were convincing enough for herself.

"Forget it. This is actually quite boring." Just when Yang Chong thought that Tian Mi's personality would be distorted, Tian Mi suddenly calmed down again.

"You have things you care about, and I have people I care about. Our worlds are different, so our minds are naturally different. There is no need for us to understand each other's thoughts. Now, I just need to know what I have to do." Tian Mi said as she approached Tian Guang. The former chivalrous leader of the farm family was now just a prey in her eyes, a prey that could make her stronger.

"What are you going to do?" Tian Guang instinctively sensed a sense of crisis.

"Haven't you always wanted the master's inheritance? I can fulfill your wish now." Tian Mi smiled sweetly and directly sealed Tian Guang's acupoints, and her palm naturally fell on Tian Guang's dantian.

"The art of absorbing energy?" Tian Guang said in shock. He had learned some secrets about Yang Chong from Tian Mi, but he had never thought that Yang Chong would actually teach Tian Mi such a method. How could a woman learn such a magical skill?

"That's right, now you can die with your eyes closed." Tian Mi said calmly, neither sad nor happy, and even less angry. Compared to the helpless anger of the weak, she liked the calm forgiveness of a strong man at this moment more.

"You will bring ruin to the Nong family." Tian Guang was desperate at this time. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that the Nong family's inheritance would be cut off in his hands. What Tian Mi did at this time made him realize such a crisis.

Tian Mi has completely devoted herself to Yang Chong, and it can even be said that she is devoted to him. Otherwise, Yang Chong would not have taught him such a magical skill as the Power Absorbing Technique. Moreover, Yang Chong even allowed Tian Mi to seize his power. Is Tian Mi worth such an investment by Yang Chong?

If Tian Mi was just a woman, it would certainly not be worth it, but what if Tian Mi was also a member of the Tian family? Tian Mi grew up in Daze Mountain and knew too many secrets of the Nong family. Once Yang Chong intended to push Tian Mi to the front and use Tian Mi as a wedge to infiltrate the Nong family, it was possible that the Nong family would really change hands.

Especially now Yang Chong is simply not someone that the farmers can subdue.

"You don't have to worry about this, because the farm will belong to the master from now on, and the master will not let the farm go to ruin." At this time, Tian Mi showed a look of enjoyment. This is power, and it belongs to her from now on.

Tian Guang wanted to say something, but Tian Mi no longer gave him the chance. At this moment, Tian Guang felt truly desperate.

"Thank you, master." When Tian Guang became a cold corpse, Tian Mi stood obediently beside Yang Chong.

"This is an advance payment. You have to pay it back later." Yang Chong patted Tian Mi's cheek and walked towards another cell.

Compared with Tian Guang's misery, the treatment of the prisoners in this cell is much better, at least they are not pierced in the collarbone.

This is a short and fat young man. It is not quite appropriate to say that he is short. He should be described as a dwarf. He is only four feet tall, but he is quite heavy. He is round and looks quite plump and festive.

His status in the farming family was not low, but that was all. When the older generation had not retired, he could only be a core disciple and could not be the hall master. But for someone of his age, he was actually very powerful, especially since he was not a member of the Tian family.

His name is Zhu Jia, and he is from Lu. He is generous and righteous, and has a great reputation in the local area. He also has many close friends among the farmers.

"Is a person like me worthy of your coming to take my life personally?" Zhu Jia crawled out from the thatch and sat there carelessly. He was surprised by Yang Chong's arrival, but more of it was calm.

"It's easy to kill people, but difficult to save them alive. In the Zhu family and the entire farming family, there are not many people who can be looked up to, and you are one of them." Yang Chong looked at the short and fat man in front of him. If he just judged people by their appearance, the Zhu family in front of him would have no merits. But Yang Chong knew that this short and fat man was much taller than Tian Guang, Tian Meng and others.

"I don't consider this an honor. Your Excellency is more skilled than me. I admit defeat. You can kill me or rob me as you please." Zhu Jia said indifferently, as if he had really put life and death aside.

"The Nong family was born out of the six tribes of Emperor Yan. If it weren't for the Tian family's chaos, you might have to call me the knight-errant now." Yang Chong said.

"It was not us who abandoned the six tribes of Emperor Yan, but you, the people of the Jiang and Lu clans. Between the six tribes of Emperor Yan and the State of Qi, you chose the State of Qi." said Zhu Jia.

Eight hundred years ago, Jiang Ziya, the ancestor of Qi State, was the leader of the six tribes of Yan Emperor, but he chose to establish Zhou Dynasty and destroy Shang Dynasty, and eventually became the founding monarch of Qi State. The capital for Jiang Ziya to establish Qi State came from the six tribes of Yan Emperor. At that time, he brought a large number of disciples of the six tribes of Yan Emperor to join the battlefield, and eventually established Qi State with those disciples as the backbone.

It was also from that time that the atmosphere within the six tribes of Emperor Yan changed. They originally came from the same origin, but some of them became nobles in Qi State, while others still lived an ascetic life in the mountains and forests. After a long time, naturally some people couldn't stand it anymore.

In this way, the aristocratic atmosphere within Qi spread to the six tribes of Emperor Yan and eventually transformed into farming families. The people of the Tian family only added fuel to the flames in this process, but the real source can be traced back to the people of the Jiang family.

The Zhu family knew about this secret, so he did not feel any closeness to Yang Chong. Of course, he had no loyalty to the Tian family. He was loyal to the farming family, not to any individual or clan.

"Then let's not talk about the grievances between the Lu and Tian families. Today we will only talk about the six tribes of Emperor Yan or the farming family." Yang Chong said.

"What can I say? You just want to emulate your ancestor Jiang Ziya and use the peasants to claim to be alone. You are no different from Tian Guang and the others."

Zhu Jia's words were quite sharp, and he revealed Yang Chong's thoughts in one sentence.

"You see things clearly, but, precisely because of this, shouldn't you stay alive? Only in this way can you stop me. Otherwise, the farmers will really fall into my hands and become my stepping stones." Yang Chong said.

"I should be alive, but unfortunately, now everything is no longer up to me." Zhu Jia said helplessly.

Whether it is the six tribes of Emperor Yan or the farming family, there are too many people like Yang Chong and Tian Guang, which makes Daze Mountain no longer the Daze Mountain it used to be. Although he wants to change something, he can't do anything. Not to mention anything else, the six elders of the farming family alone are a mountain that he cannot cross.

"You can leave here today." Yang Chong looked at the Zhu family. He had thought about conquering the Zhu family before, but now he didn't need to. Compared with the loyalty of the Zhu family, he wanted to see what kind of changes the Zhu family would bring to the Nong family if he could control the Nong family.

"Aren't you afraid that I will cause you trouble in the future?" Zhu Jia asked in shock and confusion.

"I will only be stronger than you." Yang Chong said it calmly, but the Zhu family heard an unimaginable confidence.

"I am your enemy." Zhu Jia reminded. He could not understand what Yang Chong was thinking at this moment.

"You are not qualified now, but you may be qualified in the future. When you truly become my enemy, I will take your life." Yang Chong said.

A farming family needs to look like a farming family. In order to make a farming family become what it should be, Yang Chong does not have the experience, and Tian Mi does not have the ability. Only the Zhu family can complete this task. After all, compared to those trash of the Tian family, the Zhu family is the real disciples of the farming family.

In Yang Chong's future puzzle of the world, the farmers are a very important force. Of course, this farmer is a real farmer, not a group of martial arts sects that occupy Daze Mountain and only know how to fight bravely.

"What exactly is your conspiracy?" Zhu Jia asked in surprise.

Yang Chong's behavior at this time seemed absurd to him, but would a strong man like Yang Chong really be so absurd? Zhu Jia couldn't believe it, he just felt that Yang Chong must have some conspiracy.

"What? Are you scared?" Yang Chong provoked.

"Your Excellency is not worried about letting the tiger return to the mountains, so what do I have to be afraid of? Can it be worse than the next one?" Zhu Jia, who could not think of the answer, stopped thinking about it and walked straight to the prison door.

Right now, he really has nothing to fear.

Chapter 234: The Active Ehuang

"My lord, are you really going to let the Zhu family go?" Tian Mi asked Yang Chong after she walked out of the prison. As the popular candidate for the next head of the Nong family, the Zhu family's status and influence in the Nong family are by no means comparable to hers. Especially since the Zhu family is from outside the family, many disciples from outside the family have gathered around the Zhu family. These disciples gathered together, and they are even enough to compete with the Tian family.

Now, the younger generation of the Tian clan had already been annihilated by Yang Chong, and the six sages of the Nong family were also all killed by Yang Chong, and even Tian Guang died in prison. The power of the Tian clan had been weakened to the extreme. In such a case, if the Zhu family returned to Daze Mountain, it would be easy for them to succeed to the position of hall master, and it is not impossible for them to even stabilize the leader of the heroes.

"Am I a person who goes back on his word?" Yang Chong asked back.

Now Yang Chong has no time to take care of the affairs of the Nong family. Rather than letting the Nong family fall into chaos and be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives, it is better to let the Zhu family go back. It would be best if they could succeed the position of the leader of the knights and stabilize the Nong family. When Yang Chong expands his power to the Huaishui area where Daze Mountain is located, he can take action to recover a complete Nong family.

As for the question of whether the Zhu family will lead the Nong family and make them stronger, Yang Chong is not worried at all. He can deal with the Nong family now. Even if the Zhu family makes the Nong family stronger in the future, Yang Chong will only become stronger. Yang Chong has enough confidence in this.

He is never afraid of his enemies becoming stronger, he only thinks that his opponents are not strong enough.

"Of course not, Master, it's just..." Tian Mi wanted to say something, but when she met Yang Chong's gaze, she swallowed her words. Yang Chong was not a man she could influence. Since Yang Chong had made up his mind, it would be useless for her to say anything more.

"Digest Tian Guang's skills well. You will be needed to take the position of the head of the farming family in the future." Yang Chong said.

"Master?" Tian Mi looked at Yang Chong in confusion. If the Zhu family returned to Daze Mountain, she would never be able to return to the farming family. After all, the Zhu family already knew that she had completely sided with Yang Chong.

"We are not enemies with the Nong family. Everyone in the Nong family will find out about this in the future. Then, you can become the head of the Nong family." Yang Chong said.

The conflict between Yang Chong and the Nong family was ultimately a conflict between two major families. When the Tian family was wiped out, these conflicts naturally ceased to exist.

Tian Mi stared at Yang Chong blankly. Although she was a very scheming woman, she was only clever in her own way. She was good at plotting and framing people, but when it came to the competition and contest in the overall situation, it was beyond her understanding.

On the other side, Zhu Jia walked out of the prison. Before he could feel the scent of sunshine, a man rushed out from an alley.

"Liu Ji? You didn't run away?" Zhu Jia looked at the young man in front of him, very surprised.

Liu Ji deliberately fell ill to avoid the farmers' sudden attack on Yang's residence. He could see that although Liu Ji could deceive others, he could not deceive him.

However, Zhu Jia did not underestimate Liu Ji because of this. He knew that Liu Ji's martial arts were just mediocre and it was human nature to be afraid of death. He interacted with Liu Ji only because he thought Liu Ji was interesting, talkative, and sensible, so he became good friends with him.

But he never thought of asking Liu Ji to risk his life for him. After all, he made friends just to see if they could get along well, not to win people's hearts and make others risk their lives for him at the critical moment.

Therefore, the Zhu family did not have much dislike for Liu Ji's desertion in the face of the enemy, but because of Liu Ji's behavior, he would not regard him as a close friend whom he could trust with his life.

But now Liu Ji appeared in front of him, which surprised Zhu Jia. With Liu Ji's courage, shouldn't he have fled long ago when he learned that the Nong family was annihilated? Only this kind of thing was in line with Liu Ji's usual style of doing things.

"When I learned that Brother Zhu and his men were completely wiped out, I thought about running away. But then I thought, if you, Brother Zhu, really died and there was no one to collect your body, wouldn't that be too tragic?" Liu Ji felt genuinely happy when he saw the Zhu family in front of him, who looked miserable but still alive and well without any missing limbs.

"You might as well say that you wanted to break into the prison and rescue me." Zhu Jia rolled his eyes. Based on his understanding of Liu Ji, it sounded like Liu Ji was bragging. But why didn't Liu Ji run away? Zhu Jia was a little confused about this.

"Brother Zhu has a keen eye. I really think so." Facing the Zhu family's teasing, Liu Ji did not show any shame, but replied with a smile.

"You..." Zhu Jia looked at Liu Ji in front of him. Although he still had that smug smile as usual, he saw real concern in Liu Ji's eyes, which could not be fake. At this moment, he even believed what Liu Ji said.

"Okay, I believe you." Zhu Jia put away his thoughts. No matter whether Liu Ji had the intention and ability to save him or not, the only thing was that Liu Ji did not run away immediately after knowing that he was in trouble, but stayed here, risking being caught at any time. He had to acknowledge this favor.

"Brother Zhu, you believe in me and I am right for you. You don't know that I have tried every possible way to save you!" Liu Ji boasted.

Looking at Liu Ji like this, Zhu Jia also smiled bitterly, thinking that the emotion he felt just now must have been an illusion. If he believed that Liu Ji was a man who would sacrifice his life for his friends, he might as well believe that Liu Ji was a great master.

"I don't believe you." Zhu Jia cursed with a smile and left. Although he didn't know why Yang Chong let him go, he knew that Dong'e City was definitely not a good place. As for Tian Guang and the others, even if they wanted to rescue them, they had to leave the city first before making any long-term plans.

However, Zhu Jia, who was walking in front, could not see the complicated expression that Liu Ji behind him revealed in an instant.

He had indeed made great efforts and paid a huge price for the Zhu family to be able to escape, but he could not tell the Zhu family about these prices.

These costs will become another story in the future.

On the other side, Yang Chong had already brought Tian Mi back to the mansion. Before he could sit down in the study, an unexpected guest appeared in front of him.

"Ehuang." Yang Chong looked at the woman in front of him, quite surprised. He had not seen her many times in this period of time, and every time he saw her, she appeared with her sister Nvying. The two were inseparable, but today she appeared alone, without Nvying by her side. Her single beauty was really lonely.

"Senior brother really can tell us sisters apart, instead of just guessing by observing our words and expressions." Ehuang smiled slightly, which was quite different from her usual coldness. If Yang Chong had not relied on another method to distinguish them, seeing Ehuang like this, he would have regarded her as the younger sister.

"Ehuang must be very curious about this, right?" Yang Chong pointed to the chair next to the desk.

"I'm not curious. After all, senior brother is also an expert in water-walking techniques." Ehuang sat down leisurely, with her legs together and her hands crossed on her belly. She was the most ladylike of ladies, and her aura as if she had walked out of the depths of the Yunmeng Lake made her even more pleasing to the eye.

"So, Ehuang, you came to visit my house just because of this curiosity?" Yang Chong asked back. This was the first time the two of them talked about this matter in some time.

Yang Chong knew that Ehuang and Nvying were interested in his Zhouliu Liuxu Gong. The two sisters also knew that Yang Chong knew their purpose. This was tacitly understood, but it was the first time they said it directly.

"It's not just out of curiosity, there is another thing." Ehuang's answer was both within Yang Chong's expectations and beyond his expectations.

"What do you mean?" Yang Chong also became interested and moved forward.

"Brother, you are still a step away from becoming a Grandmaster, right?" Ehuang said bluntly.

"Yes." Yang Chong said.

“The so-called Grandmaster realm means practicing a technique to perfection, and then achieving a breakthrough and completing the transformation of oneself. Therefore, every Grandmaster is unique.” Ehuang said.

“The Yin-Yang School has a long history, and there have been masters in every generation. When it comes to the understanding of the master's realm, it can be ranked in the top three among all the schools of thought.” Yang Chong said with understanding.

"That day, I saw that although senior brother's water control technique was powerful, it still relied more on the power beyond the master to control it, which lacked sophistication. I think senior brother still has a lot to learn in the practice of water-controlling skills." Ehuang continued, as if she was really just concerned about Yang Chong.

"Junior sister, what you said is right. The martial arts I practice are quite diverse, and water-based martial arts is just one of them. Therefore, my practice is not very advanced." Yang Chong nodded.

Although the Zhouliu Liuxu Gong is powerful, the changes within it are the most mysterious. In recent years, Yang Chong has been busy with various military and government affairs, so naturally he has less time to practice the Zhouliu Liuxu Gong.

Although the combat effectiveness of Zhouliu Liuxu Gong can be improved to the level of a master by relying on the powerful internal force cultivated from several other martial arts, there is still a long way to go to master the subtle changes therein.

"I can help you practice your water-based skills to perfection within a month." When Ehuang said this, her eyes dropped slightly, but after a moment she looked at Yang Chong again, but there was a hint of shyness in her cold eyes.

"Junior sister, it is impossible that you won't pay a price for seizing the secrets of heaven in this way, right?" Yang Chong looked at Ehuang in front of him, who seemed to have a hint of shyness, and after a moment of confusion, he seemed to understand something.

Some of the Yin-Yang School's techniques can be practiced dually. Not to mention, throughout history, most of the Water Chief elders and Earth Chief elders were husband and wife. The two techniques have the same origin but different practices. Through dual practice, they can make up for the shortcomings of the Yin-Yang techniques and thus reach perfection.

Yang Chong knew about all this, and he also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the sisters Ehuang and Nvying would also follow this path in the future and marry Shunjun, the elder of the Tuchang clan of the Yin-Yang School. However, the final result was not very good because of greed, possession, and jealousy, which eventually led to the destruction of the relationship between the three.

It was precisely because he knew this story that Yang Chong was surprised, because Ehuang's actions and words at this time really made him think too much.
